The name Aaren Simpson may not sound as popular as that of OJ Simpson, his father, probably because he was silenced long before anyone could hear him. OJ Simpson or Juicy is a name many of us can definitely identify with if not for the right reasons, then for the wrong ones.

It’s been in the news for as long as many of us can actually remember. Simpson not only featured in the headlines as a renowned NFL player, broadcaster and actor, but also as a robber and armed kidnapper on parole.

OJ whose career was booming was soon to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. First, he was linked to the murder of his second wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and his friend, Ron Goldman. Brown and OJ began dating while he was still married to Marguerite. After his divorce in 1979, they married in 1985. That year they also welcomed their first child together. Sydney, three years later, they had a son (Justin).

Their marriage soon began to shake as OJ was not only unfaithful but also abusive. In 1992, Nicole filed for divorce after years of physical and emotional abuse. She was later found dead outside her home with her friend Ron Goldman on June 13, 1994.

An autopsy would later reveal that Nicole was stabbed seven times in the neck and scalp with a 140mm long gash in the throat. OJ Simpson was later arrested and charged with her murder in court, but was found not guilty. He was later arrested and given a reduced sentence of 33 years, not for murder but for kidnapping and armed robbery, but he was conditionally released in 2017.

Following Nicole’s murder trials, the whole world heard about Sydney and Justin (Simpson’s children with Nicole) because they made headlines, but few knew of his other children with his first wife, Marguerite.
